The document discusses inductive reactance (XL) in alternating current circuits. It explains that XL increases with increasing frequency and inductance, reducing the amount of current. The formula for calculating XL is given as XL = 2πfL, where f is the frequency and L is the inductance. Methods for calculating total XL in series and parallel circuits are also described. Examples of typical inductance values needed for different frequencies are provided. Finally, the document explains that the voltage induced across an inductor (VL) by a sine wave current will be 90 degrees out of phase with the current.
